Backlink value
BV$221per link · level A · nofollow · strength 95A followed editorial link from wikipedia.org would be worth up to $1,829 under BV 2.2, before relevance: its Site Strength is 95 out of 100. The link it usually gives is level A (an editorial citation), but 97% of its links are nofollow, so it is worth about $221 — and relevance to the site it points to moves that between $111 and $277.

A link from wikipedia.org, by link type
The same site is worth very different amounts depending on the link it gives you. This is what each level is worth here.
| Level | What it is | Factor | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — Counted | An editorial citation: the site linked because it is useful to its readers. | ×1 | $1,829 |
| B — May be discounted | A guest, sponsored or placed article, or a product or tool directory listing. | ×0.5 | $915 |
| C — Usually neutralised | A press release or syndicated copy, a forum post, profile, footer or sidebar link — and any nofollow link. | ×0.1 | $183 |
| D — Network | A site on a server whose sites show footprints of one owner, a link farm, or machine-generated pages. | ×0.05 | $91 |

Limitations: what this report does not show
- Only 1 link has been audited here — a sample too small to describe the publication as a whole.
- 1 audited page could not be read and is left out of the rates rather than guessed.
- A link that is followed is not necessarily a link search engines value; this record does not measure rankings or traffic.
- The BV score is what one new followed link from wikipedia.org is worth to rankings, from its Site Strength and the kind of link on offer. It is not a price, and it does not predict what a link will do for a particular site: relevance to that site moves it between half and one and a quarter times.
- Traffic figures come from a third-party traffic source, named with its date in the evidence box above; no one outside a site sees its analytics.
